Ninth-Largest Yacht In The World Spotted Near Venice

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Yachts, by definition, are supposed to be luxurious, but one docked near Venice goes above and beyond mere luxury.

A yacht named “Serene” was spotted by Sky 9 Wednesday night – all 440 feet of it. The super yacht comes with seven decks and almost 50,000 square feet of interior space, 12 staterooms, two helicopter landing platforms, a salt water pool and storage for a submarine.

(Most watercraft with those kinds of amenities usually go by other names, like “cruise ship” or “aircraft carrier.” Just sayin’.)

“Serene,” which is estimated to be worth $300 million, is listed as the 9th largest yacht in the world by SuperYachts.com, just after David Geffen’s “Rising Sun” which measures in at 454 feet.
